Crayon Shin-chan: Fierceness That Invites Storm! The Battle of the Warring States (クレヨンしんちゃん 嵐を呼ぶ アッパレ!戦国大合戦, Kureyon Shinchan: Arashi o Yobu: Appare! Sengoku Daikassen) is a 2002 anime film. It is the 10th film based on the popular comedy manga and anime series Crayon Shin-chan. The film was released to theatres on April 20, 2002, in Japan.[1] It is the final film in the series to use traditional cel animation, and the last film to be written and directed by frequent director and animator of the saga Keiichi Hara.

The film was produced by Shin-Ei Animation, the studio behind the anime television. Its only screening in the US was on April 26, 2014, in Japanese with English subtitles as Crayon Shin Chan: Bravo! Samurai Battle! at the Embassy of Japan.[2] It was released as Crayon Shinchan The Movie: Battle in the Daimyo Era with English subtitles on VCD and DVD by PMP Entertainment.[3][4]

As with The Adult Empire Strikes Back, the film was critically aclaimed with praise given to the screenplay, direction, character development and a dramatic and more mature tone compared to other movies of the saga. It is considered by critics to be the second best film in the series behind The Adult Empire Strikes Back.

A Japanese live-action movie based on this movie called Ballad (BALLAD 名もなき恋のうた) was released in 2009.[5]
